I am currently trying to install wine and previously have failed to install VLC on Ubuntu 17.10. I have tried almost all the solutions available on other forums.

$ sudo apt-get install vlc

    You might want to run 'apt --fix-broken install' to correct these.

    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt --fix-broken install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

  • Looks like you failed more than once to install VLC, and perhaps failed to clean up after the first try...which then broke the second try. Tell us more about all your tries to install VLC, and please link to the instructions you followed. – user535733 Jan 24 '18 at 04:27
  • Have you tried what is suggested to you ? apt --fix-broken install? – Robert Riedl Jan 24 '18 at 06:06
